Dishonored Featured in Syfy's "Face Off"

I'm not sure if anyone on here watches Syfy's series Face Off (which is actually pretty awesome) but I thought it's worth bringing up the upcoming game was featured heavily in last week's episode "Dishonorable Proportions".

For those unaware of what the show is about, Face Off is a competition where several makeup effect artists are given a challenge each week, and one person is eliminated by 3-4 judges, until only one remains. The show is actually a lot of fun for a reality program, as the good monster designs are cool to see, the bad ones are fun to watch get taken apart, and seeing behind the scenes of what the process is, is quite interesting, in my opinion at least.

Back to the point, however, this episode's challenge was a cross promotion with Dishonored, where the contestants were each given a specific character type from the game (an Aristocrat, a Thug, and a Weeper) and told to design a character who fit that archetype, and exaggerate the proportions of the him (or her).

The full episode is unfortunately not available on Syfy's website yet, which appears to be a couple weeks behind (meaning it should eventually be available) but there are some images from the episode at http://www.syfy.com/faceoff/episodes/ for those interested (there was also a mini-challenge to design a beauty makeup revolving around the model's dresses, which the episode also shows pictures of). The images I uploaded to this post contain the two thugs designed, one of which was considered one of the top looks of the night, and the other one of the worst. I personally thought this was a pretty neat promotion for the game, and a cool challenge for the show (which I do watch regularly). I'd be interested to hear what others think.

Face Off was one of the first things I watched in America, they had a season 1 marathon just before the second season started and I got all kinds of addicted, really good show to watch kind of mindlessly, and these sorts of competition shows usually don't appeal to me.

i turned off my cable, thus I'm not watching season 3 but the first 2 seasons of that show were great. Given, I know nothing about movie makeup profession stuff but the people seemed really talented and it was always cool to see what they came up with. Season 2 the best guy definitely won; his last work was pretty awesome. It was one of the few "reality" shows I watched. That and Top Chef.

Oh and Dishonored... probably gonna get it if it doesn't somehow end up sucking.

I loved the first two seasons, and this season has actually been my favorite so far. The challenges have been interesting, the contestants are talented, and none of them (save for a guy who walked off at the end of the first episode) are unlikable. It's pretty great.

Yeah, I watch Face Off, and was amused that they had the contestants do characters from the game. Too bad that they all did such a shitty job. Well, there were one or two that were alright, but almost everyone else missed the boat. It's still fun to watch, even though the contestants this season don't seem quite as good as seasons one and two.

I thought that the winner's was really great, the runner up was all right, and the rest were lacking.
